making whoopie [pies]

My latest trip to the downtown library yielded this exciting find.


Being a reluctant baker, I am nearly always behind the times when it comes to the latest dessert trends. I still maintain that cupcakes are on the way out and diner-style pie shops are going to be popping up like Sprinkles signature dots on every trendy shopping corner.

But I digress.

We are headed over to bro and sis-in-law's house for a much-needed family dinner tonight and the only thing we need to bring is dessert. Say what?

Yes.

My terrible cooking attempts have paid off and I am no longer responsible for bringing anything of significance to potlucks.

And with huz out all day on a rugged Into the Woods style fishing venture, the boys and I have a day of mischief-making ahead of us. And napping.

If I have any say in the matter, it will probably mostly consist of napping.

And somewhere in between the naps and the mischief, we will bake. Oh yes. We WILL bake. And you will eat what we bake. And it will taste GOOD.

And this is what we are making today. It is my very first time making whoopie [pies]. You might say I am a whoopie virgin. A novice at whoopie making, if you will.

Here is my grocery list for this morning.

Here are the pretty pictures from the pretty book.






Please cross your fingers for me and pray I don't cry during my whoopie making. I will post all about my first time tomorrow. Hugs, K
